6. The headset cord holder of claim 1 , wherein each body comprises one or more additional grooves configured to receive and releasably secure the headset cord.
7. The headset cord holder of claim 6 , wherein the one or more additional grooves each have a different diameter.
8. The headset cord holder of claim 1 , wherein the teeth comprise a first portion and a second portion, wherein each first body of the first portion has a first groove of a first diameter and each second body of the second portion has a second groove of a second diameter.
9. A headset cord holder comprising: a. a plurality of zipper teeth each having a body, together forming at least a portion of a zipper, and b. a first groove built into one or more of the bodies configured to receive and releasably hold a cord; wherein the first groove within each body is aligned when the zipper teeth are interlocked adjacently to one another to form an uninterrupted groove throughout the adjacently interlocked teeth to receive and releasably hold the cord.

18. The headset cord holder of claim 17 , wherein the first groove has a diameter less than or equal to approximately 2 mm.
19. The headset cord holder of claim 17 , wherein each body comprises one or more of rubber, plastic or metal.
20. The headset cord holder of claim 17 , wherein each body comprises one or more of stamped metal or molded metal.
21. The headset cord holder of claim 17 , wherein each body comprises molded plastic.
22. The headset cord holder of claim 17 , wherein each body comprises one or more additional grooves configured to receive and releasably secure the headset cord.
23. The headset cord holder of claim 22 , wherein the one or more additional grooves each have a different diameter.
24. The headset cord holder of claim 17 , wherein the teeth comprise a first portion and a second portion, wherein each first body of the first portion has a first groove of a first diameter and each second body of the second portion has a second groove of a second diameter.
